This weekend was really good. I got to hang out with friends for a chili off (we didn't win, we weren't expecting to either!) got to hang out with my new bud - a 6 month old little guy and hang out with his friend who is 2 months. Sunday was good, we originally had plans but the friend backed out which was ok, I had a nice day to read and relax, oh yeah and play a little WoW. Also the service was really good, I really connected with it. And we watched a video that I was totally able to connect with about scars. I recently finished reading a really good book on overcoming compulsive overeating. It is by Geneen Roth and called Women, Food & God. I could totally connect with alot of it and plan to make copies of a few pages before I have to return it to the library. The next read on my list is Dear Birthmother, actually I am a quarter of the way through it already. So this week I am deciding to take the first step to overcoming my ED, it will be small but that is ok. Small steps lead to success. I will be not writing down what I am eating, but why I am eating it and really paying attention to the why. I eat a lot of times because of boredom, or other emotions, but boredom is predominate. Eating because of a feeling isn't why we are supposed to eat, I know this and have known it but it just never seemed right to me. So on top of writing why I am eating I am going to try to remember these three affirmations:
1.I am precious in the sight of God
2. I am beautiful
3.Fear is only a feeling; it cannot hold me back
I have also been getting more in the Word, Been focusing the last few days on Romans 12, specifically 12:12, but the whole chapter is good.
This week will be crazy, so I am not sure I will be blogging, but at the same time I may blog more just to find peace and relax, I am getting ready for a cross country drive and trip to MA & NH, really looking forward to it the chance to see some relatives I haven't seen in a while.
